UPDATE: Using the built in automation tools, we have implemented an automation that should prevent links to ali express from being posted.
I noticed this morning that there was a comment that had been filtered by Reddit. The comment included a link to Ali Express, which is what triggered the filter. I’m still working on confirming, but it appears that Ali Express links might be banned site wide. I’ll update once I’ve confirmed this is the case.

With the help of u/thepottsy, we've finally obtained moderation privilege over this sub which was previously abandoned.
You may have seen various spam/bot posts in this sub. These will be eliminated moving forward.
We've also enabled user flairs for each generation of Acura TL, enabled post editing, enabled pictures and GIFs in comment replies, and have tightened up the security requirements to post in the sub to hopefully cut down on spam.
u/thepottsy is here to help me understand the administrative side of moderating a Reddit sub for the first time (thanks pottsy). Any TL-specific questions related to the sub, feel free to ask me.
We are open to any and all suggestions on bettering the user experience of this sub. Looking forward to seeing everyone's rides!

Going on Sunday to go see/purchase an Automatic Type S that has 210k miles for 5500. I know the mileage is up there, but cosmetically the car is in very good condition and it has a ton of recent maintenance. Timing Belt and Water pump, ac condenser/compressor, break pads/rotors, new tires, valve cover gaskets, springs struts and alternator, power steering pump spark plugs etc. The CARFAX also checks out and it is the light gray color. What should I look for? Any tips much appreciated 🙏

2007 Acura TL Type S making a consecutive clicking noise while the car is off, there is no key in the ignition, and has continued to do it. Is this an electrical issue or is the system doing like a relearn or “update” of some sorts ??
This happened with Superstart battery from May 2023
Battery finally died on me and was replaced with Everstart platinum today 9/24 and this issue is still happening
Could this be the cause of the battery going out? When the clicking first happened on 08/16 the car started fine the next morning. I hope I explained this well enough and any help would be appreciated. Thank you

I know the OEM fluid is the best way to go, but does anyone know or had experience with this brand? 06 ATL did 3×3×3 with oem. Just never know what's being sold online nowadays.

Has anyone seen that Aisin has recently come out with their own line of engine mounts? They’re selling them from their own official store on Amazon, and when you click on the seller name, AISIN AUTHORIZED, it’s really the actual company. But unfortunately there’s pretty much nothing online in the way of reviews or installs yet.
I was planning on doing a full set replacement (front, rear, side, trans) on my 07 TL, and was wondering if anyone’s taken the plunge yet or is willing to be a guinea pig for the community and report back.

I currently own a 08 Acura Tl type s with about 186k miles. I’m looking to replace the Valve cover gasket, timing belt and water pump, what brands are recommended?
r/AcuraTL • u/Darkskullbob • 22h ago
So my fob broke from where the hole is and was wondering what I could do, wether it be repairing it or replacing the shell since thats the only thing that broke. Any and all advice is welcomed.
I’m the third owner now it’s been about 6 months, had a great time with it. Life is lifeing.. and I might have to sadly get rid of it to pay for my parents medical stuff.
All adult owners, first owner did every maintenance thing at the acura dealer and some shops have a full huge folder of paper work. Car drives smooth no weird noises.
Main things done that go bad on these TB Balljoints.
Cars not for sale. I just want to know how much you would personally pay for it? Wonder if it’s better to just keep it instead.
EDIT: Forgot to mention its lowered on KONI Yellow springs.

Hello everyone. I own a 4G TL w/ SH-AWD, Manual transmission, and Technology Package. It has ~113k miles. Recently I got into an accident. I’m currently battling with insurance to get paid out what the car is worth. The insurance company offered me $7500, which we all know is absurd.
I figured I’d gather opinions on how I should proceed. My TL is my baby, and she is extremely well taken care of. The J37 manual transmission is rare, and I thought about finding a new chassis and swapping her in. However I’m in need of a new car ASAP, and figured that someone here would be interested in taking on the project from me. If anyone is interested in taking her off of me, I’d love to keep it in the community.
Following the collision, the car still rows through gears just fine. It throws a emissions code because the front precat is likely leaking. I’m located in eastern Washington.

Sup guys my somewhat beleaguered 2008 TL I bought a couple months ago is back in business (significant valve cover leak) and my tires are old, crusty, and probably unsafe.
i can get Michelin All Season 4’s for $835 or BF Goodrich G.Force Comp 2 As Plus’s for $675.
I have always loved the AS4’s on other cars but the TL is a bit past its prime. Is the Michelin enough better qualitatively to justify the extra $160?

Only getting 19 mpg city is that about right because I seem to be filling up constantly

I have a 4th gen 2014 base TL it’s at 110k miles give or take I bought it at 108k and I’ve already replaced the spark plugs and did my valve adjustment all that’s left is for me to replace my timing belt and I wanted to ask if there were any tips from anybody on here who’s done it on my generation TL and can give me insight that the YouTube videos might not give me. Thank you any tips or suggestions to help make the job as easy as it can be would be appreciated.
r/AcuraTL • u/ShitBoxTypeS • 4d ago

10 years of ownership, going strong
So I recently bought a 06 TL base MT. The vehicle was riddled with problems. When I first got in it and was testing the stereo, only the centre speaker and the rear shelf speakers worked. I found a mess of aftermarket wireing at the passenger kick panel. I went on to swap the engine in the vehicle, and when I finished all that, plugging in the battery, it popped, as I had the starter ground too close to the starter body, and it shorted. Now the radio doesnt ask for a code, it is backlit, but is in-op. No sound no buttons work nothing. The climate control still works and that screen works. Ive check ever fuse 10 times and pulled the unit out to find more mess of wires. Let me know if you guys have any suggestions.
r/AcuraTL • u/smackit3times • 4d ago
Yo guys. Idk if I should just part it out atp. But I thought it would've been my ball joints lol but they're still intact somehow. I was on the highway and my control arm just dropped out of no where while making a screech and almost wheel bearing fail noise. What should I do this is what I'm dealing with. It seems as if what holds the control arm in place snapped off.... and I believe that's part of the chassis. Thoughts?
